DLF International Movers in Madrid has recently become a member of the FIDI Global Alliance having achieved FAIM certification in May this year.

The FIDI membership is part of the company’s long-term strategy to focus on international mobility.

The company was started over 40 years ago by Juan Carlos de la Fuente and was known, until its recent rebrand as DLF Global Mobility Services, as De La Fuente International Movers. More recently, Cristina Mesonero (Juan Carlos’ wife) joined the company to be the public face of its international marketing. As well as FIDI, DLF is a member of EUROMOVERS, LACMA, IAM, Worldwide ERC and EuRA amongst other national associations.

Two years ago, Luis Navarrete became the company’s head of International Department with a strategy of increasing DLF’s international network and focussing on relocation. This included overseeing the company’s brand change just over a year ago.

Asked what difference FIDI membership will make to the company, Luis said that although FIDI was not well known by global accounts it did provide DLF with a much wider network of agents with which he could work worldwide. “FIDI membership will help us to gain awareness in different parts of the world, including Latin America,” he said. “It allows us to participate with other established moving companies, knowing that they will be good players. It gives us an upgraded status in the industry.” Luis also said that he expected FIDI membership to help achieve better reciprocity with its worldwide partners.

Referring to the FAIM process, Luis said that it had touched every part of his business helping him to set up new processes that improve efficiency and help to maintain the high-quality services his company is proud to supply.
